Diddy’s Lawyer Rips Media Over False Allegations
In a recent episode of TMZ’s “2 Angry Men” podcast, Diddy’s attorney, Teny Geragos, fired back at rampant rumors surrounding the hip-hop mogul’s alleged “Freak-Offs.” Geragos wasted no time in quelling concerns about any celebrity involvement in the supposed tapes seized during federal raids, vehemently declaring, “There are no celebs on those tapes.” Adding even more clarity, she stated, “None of the criminal charges involve minors,” a point that has been widely misreported in various media outlets.
Geragos emphasizes that while multiple civil allegations suggest Diddy has been involved in inappropriate conduct with minors, those claims have been blown out of proportion, particularly by attorney Tony Buzbee, who has initiated numerous civil suits against the music industry titan. In a burn for the ages, Geragos critiqued Buzbee’s questionable tactics, likening his press conferences to an “ambulance chaser” after he displayed a 1-800 number to entice possible clients. She asserts that these legal strategies are less about justice and more about profit.
Critically observing the silence from Hollywood regarding Diddy, Geragos believes the fear of being next on Buzbee’s litigation list is keeping many quiet, as his public threats and complex strategies could potentially bring down many in the industry. “He’s leveraging this case to shake down other celebs,” she noted, corroborating reports that have emerged about bullying tactics used by some lawyers in high-profile celebrity cases. Diddy’s legal team is not planning to back down; they’re actively pursuing defamation lawsuits in retaliation against what they deem to be unfounded accusations.
The atmosphere around Diddy remains charged, especially as the public continues to consume every new development in this unfolding saga. With accusations swirling, and Geragos poised to continue her fight, those who follow celebrity news will want to keep their eyes peeled for what’s next. Stay tuned, folks—this is a headline-making spectacle that shows no signs of simmering down anytime soon.
